INTRODUCTION
This Handbook is the eighth edition (2003) of Part 2 of Australian Standards for civil engineering students. It was first published by Standards Australia in 1982 as a text book of abridged Standards suited to civil engineering subjects taught at tertiary level. The continuing intention is to make Standards more readily accessible to students and educational institutions. Because of tightened copyright laws and the increased surveillance of copyright breaches, by 1981 the organization had become aware of a real need for a publication of this type. Lecturers from schools of civil engineering were asking for rights to copy and reproduce Standards, because purchase of Standards in their complete form was financially beyond most students. The Handbook was, therefore, designed to fill the requirements of both students and lecturers for a copy of commonly used parts of relevant Standards, at a reasonable cost. This Handbook a) is re-issued incorporating Amendment No. 1 (March 2003), which corrects the editorial errors in some characters/symbols (such as f c , , , , , , , ) on the following pages: Introduction (this page), pages 6, 7, 11, 14, 15, 19, 27 to 32, 37, 38, 46 to 49, 51 to 53, 72, 78, 79, 84, 106, 112, 117, 118, 120, 121, 132, 526, 527, 545 to 547, 554 to 557, 560, 569 and 570; and b) incorporates Amendment No. 2 (July 2004). The changes required by this Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure, or part thereof affected.

This Handbook was prepared by Standards Australia in consultation with Schools and Departments of Civil Engineering and Building in Universities, Institutes of Technology and Colleges of Technical and Further Education in all States. It is not an Australian Standard but comprises extracts from selected Australian Standards considered relevant to undergraduate courses in civil engineering and advanced courses in building and building sciences. It is hoped that by this means, students will be better able to understand and use Standards when they enter the workforce. Extracts in this part of the Handbook were selected to familiarize students with the nature and extent of structural engineering Standards and the type of constraints they imposed on persons working in the building industry. While extracts include portions of Standards that refer to frequently encountered situations, they do not contain all requirements that may be of critical importance to their assessment. In addition, while the Standards from which these extracts were taken were current editions at the time of publication of this Handbook, at any subsequent time the relevant Standards may have been amended or superseded. For the foregoing reasons, this Handbook should only be used for educational purposes. Standards Australia does not accept any liability for any consequences that may result from the use of the Handbook for any purpose other than student instruction. Views of teachers and students on this Handbook will be welcomed by Standards Australia, particularly on the inclusion of additional material or the deletion of other material in future revisions. Because this Handbook is comprised of extracts, it will be noted that, in some cases, Standards that are referred to are not necessarily included in the Handbook.

specifications for building materials; methods of testing for the properties of construction materials; rules for design and construction in the principal structural materials (usually called codes, and adopted by Governments in building regulations); glossaries of terms; and other matters related to building and civil engineeringsuch as standard fire tests and rules for demolition of old buildings.

(e)

Standards are revised and updated every few years in accordance with accepted good current practice, and experience in the use of the previous edition of the Standard. Standards usually specify minimum requirements for the performance and safety of particular products or forms of construction. They are not intended to prevent or inhibit the development of new products or the application of good manufacturing design and construction techniques within the intent and spirit of the Standards. The emphasis in modern Standards is on the required results (performance) rather than the methods or materials required to achieve these results (prescription). Contents of Part 2 Part 2 contains extracts from Standards related to structural engineering design and construction in the commonly used materials. This edition of Part 2 of the Handbook includes extracts from the following Standards: AS 1170 1170.41993 1720 1720.11997 28701996 36002001 37002001 41001998 AS/NZS 1170 1170.0:2002 1170.1:2002 1170.2:2002 Minimum design loads on structures Part 4: Earthquake loads Timber structures Part 1: Design methods Residential slabs and footingsConstruction Concrete structures Masonry structures Steel structures Structural design actions Part 0: General principle Part 1: Permanent, imposed and other actions Part 2: Wind actions

Where included Standards have been amended, the amendments have been incorporeated in the extracts.

CHAPTER

CONCRETE STRUCTURES

This Chapter consists of edited extracts from AS 36002001, Concrete structures. The Standard deals with the design and construction of plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures and members, but does not apply to special structures such as mass concrete dams or non-structural elements such as precast concrete pipes.

This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete structures and members that contain reinforcing steel, or tendons, or both. It also sets out minimum requirements for plain concrete members. This Standard will be referenced in the Building Code of Australia by way of BCA Amendment No. 9 to be published by 1 July 2001, thereby superseding the previous edition, AS 36001994, which will be withdrawn 12 months from the date of publication of this edition. 1.1.2 Application This Standard is intended to apply to concrete structures made of concrete (a) (b) with a characteristic compressive strength at 28 days (f 'c) in the range of 20 MPa to 65 MPa; and with a saturated surface-dry density in the range 1800 kg/m3 to 2800 kg/m3 .

The Standard also applies to reinforcing steels complying with (a) AS 1302, or having a yield strength (fsy) of 500 MPa and Ductility Class N in accordance with AS/NZS 4671. These reinforcing materials may be used, without restriction, in all applications referred to in this Standard; and AS 1303 or AS 1304, or having a yield strength (fsy) of 500 MPa and Ductility Class L in accordance with AS/NZS 4671. These reinforcing materials shall not be used in any situation where the reinforcement is expected to undergo large deformation under strength limit state conditions.
NOTE: The use of Ductility Class L reinforcement is further limited by other clauses within this Standard.

(b)

(c)

Prestressing tendons complying with AS 1310, AS 1311, or AS 1313, as appropriate.

For concrete road bridges and for concrete railway bridges, HB77.5 and HB77.8, respectively, shall be used where applicable. The general principles of concrete design and construction embodied in this Standard may be applied to concrete other than that specified above, or to concrete structures or members not specifically mentioned herein. This Standard is not intended to apply to the design of mass concrete structures. It is also not intended that the requirements of this Standard should take precedence over those of other Australian Standards.
NOTES: 1 It is intended that the design of a structure or member, to which this Standard applies, be carried out by, or under the supervision of, a suitably experienced and competent person.
